A rapist who used his limousine business to groom and sexually abuse young girls in Rotherham has been jailed for 24 years.

David Saynor, 77, targeted particularly vulnerable children who he would give free rides and money to and ply with drink and drugs before raping or assaulting them.

Following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court, he was found guilty of a series of sexual offences against children which dated from between 2005 and 2017.

Saynor, now of Mayall Court in Waddington, Lincolnshire, was told by Judge David Dixon given his age and health he would likely remain in prison for the remainder of his life.

Sheffield Crown Court heard between 2005 and 2017, Saynor lured children into his limousine under the pretence of offering them to do "promotional work" for his business.

His eight victims, aged between 12 and 17 at the time, were often picked up from schools or care homes in his stretch Hummer limousine and taken around Rotherham.

The girls would be given money for cigarettes, food or occasionally drugs and were "actively encouraged" to call him if they needed a lift or to bring their friends.

tons more but enough here to get the gist

another one that got away with it for years on end destroying lives and only near the end of his has he faced justice :sad:

I think the authorities did well to get a conviction.

And let's hope the judge is correct and this scumbag does indeed die in prison.

Not many these days...

In fact years since I've actually seen one - maybe before lockdown, but certainly a year or two :?

Indeed.

10 years ago I would see a dozen or so different ones every week. Now it's one a month.

And we should all be happy for that. Image
